I have given it much thought and for the first time in my 40 years of voting age, I am switching to the Democratic Party.

I just can't think of a good reason to stay Republican. I mean, it used to be taxes, but I don't make over $250k anymore and the Obama adminstration's new tax plan actually helps people like me, old, white and leaning toward a fixed income. I'm also more charitible than I used to be and don't really care to be selfish over nickels and dimes. It's petty.

Aside from that, it was defense. But, again, we are not being attacked from the Pacific or Atlantic, North or South. Besides, I'm at a point in my life where I'd rather ask questions first and shoot last. I'm done with the whole arrogant image of our country because it's gotten us nowhere.

Also, the two staples of the conservative ideology are God and guns. Well, regarding God, I'm of the opinion as a devout Catholic that most preists are really car salesmen in robes who push dated scripture to a bunch of lemmings who are looking for a higher power. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but to me it says, "I need help and I'm weak-minded." Well I really don't fit into that category as I believe it's ok to believe in God, but just not take it all literally and seriously. I mean, just be a good person to others and pray if you want. Enough of this group get-together singing songs bullsh!t.

And about guns, seriously, who really thinks that the government is going to really take this right away. Xenophobes, that's who. The Republican party has become a group of scared old traditionalists who are afraid of people not like themselves. At the end of the day, that's what normal people call "pussies." Sorry, but I can't continue to be associated with pussies, especially pussies who act arrogant when, in fact, they are ignorant and afraid of everything.

Seriously, my fellow Republicans, what reason should I stay in the party that I have voted for over 40 years? Why have the general population moved away from a selfish line of thinking? Who is our leader?

I can't answer these questions and, as it seems, neither can most Republicans.
